With summer in full swing and the
countdown to the new school year on, it’s
time to start thinking of back-to-school
shopping for stylish clothes and the greatest
trends in Charleston. For girls and boys who want to hit
the ground running, Ragamuffin Children’s Boutique,
Stride Rite Mount Pleasant and Radical Rags have
everything you’re looking for to start the year off right.
For fall fashion, it’s all about the vintage looks inspired
by none other than Prince George and Princess Charlotte
of England. The pieces marry old-fashioned silhouettes
with timeless stitch work and youthful excitement.
Finishing the look are beautiful embroideries and
appliqués that have the perfect European flair to them.
But the girls aren’t done just yet, and, in an adorable twist,
we’re adding suspenders to skirts this season, for a look
that shouts style from the rooftops.
For the boys, it’s all about the preppy, West Coast vibes
this school year. Colored shorts, awesome tees and brand
new sneakers from Stride Rite will have any boy ready to
tackle the new semester on time and in style.
And while it may be hard to show your kids how cool
you really are as they head into their older years, you won’t
hear any complaints from them if you show them the
latest ‘tween fashion trends. This season is full of exciting
new prints, gorgeous lace and hints of metallic foils that
will excite everyone – including your daughter.
You can’t hit the playground barefoot, so check out
Stride Rite for the latest trends, like short boots, which
are all the rage. If you truly want to set the stage, then go
for the metallic accents in dress-up shoes and boots, or try
your hand at embellished sneakers for this school year. Not
only do they shine and sparkle with fun additions, but you
can get them in silver, gold and rose gold, too.
If owls were the fashionable, go-to animal of last
season, you’ll be sure to see your fair share of foxes this
time around. These adorable, woodland creatures aren’t
sneaky at all, and their addition to clothing for kids of
all ages is absolute perfection. From cute, baby foxes on
toddler tees and rompers to dresses, scarves, jewelry and
school gear, foxes are in and ready to play.
Finally, just because the little ones aren’t off to school
just yet doesn’t mean they can’t look stylish at pickup time.
Stop by Ragamuffin Children’s Boutique for the adorable
smocking styles available for your little ones – a must here
in Mount Pleasant.
No matter what your new school year looks like, these
children and junior clothing boutiques – which have been
serving the community for decades – have exactly what
you need. Stop in to shop the latest styles. While fashion
is sure to ebb and flow, the hospitality, variety of styles
and welcoming smiles at Ragamuffin Children’s Boutique,
Stride Rite Mount Pleasant and Radical Rags are always
available and waiting for you.
